Greetings to all readers and subscribers of my cryptocurrency blog. Most of all, when I am discussing various cryptocurrency and blockchain projects, I make reviews of only speculative coins and tokens that are of interest only in terms of earning money with their help.
- But today's article is going to be an exception. Because today I would like to tell you about a project called Pulse Network, which aims to revolutionize the medicine world by giving people the opportunity to receive better and more affordable medical services, thanks to the advances of blockchain and artificial intelligence. Undoubtedly, you may ask yourself a question: what have these technologies to do with medicine? This is what we will consider in this article.
Pulse Network Functionality
Pulse Network is an extremely powerful and extensive project that will provide its users with a huge number of health-related services. Moreover, not only patients can be the Pulse Network clients, but also doctors, and the Pulse Network will try to make life much easier for them, especially in the post-coronavirus era. And yes, I think it's worth mentioning beforehand that Pulse Network is not just some hype on the pandemic topic, because its development began back in 2012 according to the roadmap on the official website.
The Pulse Network will provide its users with the following features in terms of functionality:
1)Informational health-related videos, from which users will be able to learn different aspects about their health in a simple and accessible way. With this feature, the Pulse Network creators want to fight against common myths and pseudoscientific data about health.

2)Digital medicine notebook, where the Pulse Network system will automatically record the data about the medicines prescribed to the patient in the hospital.
3)Provision and analysis of medical examination data. The Pulse Network user will be able to check any time what results he had at a medical examination even many years ago. Plus, all this information will be constantly analyzed by the Pulse Network artificial intelligence, which will make it possible to identify predispositions to serious diseases in advance and warn the user about them. There is no need to worry about data security – because everything will be stored in the blockchain, but let’s discuss this in the next chapter.
4)Another convenient function of the Pulse Network is the possibility of uninterrupted communication between doctors and patients, consequently, scheduling an appointment will be much easier with the Pulse Network, and sometimes there won’t be any need to do this, because the doctor will be able to consult remotely considering that all the necessary information about the patient’s health status, medication and past examinations, the specialist will be able to get from the Pulse Network database. This feature will be especially useful for people living in hard-to-reach regions, where it is sometimes very difficult to get access to high-quality medicine.
5)So the Pulse Network will also be highly useful for the pharmaceutical business, because the Pulse Poket app will allow customer to make purchases of various medical products directly by paying for them as well as with internal crypto currency.
Their own PULSE token will be used to reward users for various actions related to maintaining their health, that is, it will be a kind of incentive and reward, which has never been done in medicine before. It will be possible to store PULSE tokens in a single Pulse Poket application, which will be discussed later.
Pulse Poket App
The Pulse Network team takes the implementation of their product very seriously in order to achieve the maximum distribution of their product and thereby help to improve health of as many people as possible. Therefore, the process of using Pulse Network products should be extremely convenient and understandable.
To do this, the Pulse Network will have its own mobile application called Pulse Poket, which will combine all the functions described above. And among other things, this application will also function as a crypto wallet, in which users will be able to store internal Pulse Network tokens and later spend them on various non-insurance medical services, for example, sending blood for laboratory analysis, and so on.
An important point that the creators of the Pulse Network note on their website is that the Pulse Poket app will be multilingual, which will allow people from all over the world to use it without any problems.
Technical specifics
But since my blog is still dedicated to the topic of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, I have to analyze the technical side of the Pulse Network project.
Its special feature is that instead of the rather slow and expensive Ethereum blockchain, Pulse Network will use the more modern and faster PolkaDot blockchain. And this is quite logical decision, as I see it. After all, the Pulse Network project would not have managed to became that widespread if it worked on the Ethereum blockchain.
Because, for example, there are currently about a million transactions per day on the Ethereum network, and the fees exceed $ 10 per transaction. And medical services is potentially something that it is every person in the world needs. That is, if Ethereum can barely cope with a million transactions, then how will it cope with seven billion?
And Polka Dot has a chance of succeeding in it. This blockchain is more modern and it was created taking into account all the drawbacks and shortcomings of Ethereum. Moreover, PolkaDot is more functional, because in addition to the usual smart contracts, you can create your own parallel chains that will provide you with much more capabilities than the main network, which in PolkaDot is only responsible for ensuring security and establishing communication between different parallel chains.
- The advantage of blockchain technology for the healthcare sector is really massive. For example, any medical data collected used to be vulnerable to change with a number of negative consequences. Data can be altered in hospitals to commit insurance fraud, or distorted data when aggregated can lead to dangerous conclusions in drug trials and other research projects. The data stored in the blockchain is timestamped, cryptographically sealed, and immutable, and any retrospective changes are immediately apparent. Thus, the use of blockchain technology will leave data falsification in the past.
In addition, data encryption will make it possible to maintain medical confidentiality. After all, only encrypted hashes will be stored in the blockchain allowing to verify only the authenticity of the data known, but will not give the third parties with the opportunity to find out the data. Therefore, the personal medical information of each patient will be available only to them.
Well, we also should not forget about smart contracts that can automate many processes in medicine, such as making an appointment freeing doctors from this burden.
And this is the end of my review. If you are interested in the Pulse Network project, then you can learn more about it on the official website, the link to which you will find below.
